To learn more, read the full paper, "Fast-Track Automotive Innovation."

Fast-paced Innovation Critical to Market Success

Automobiles have shaped our culture and our behavior; they have deeply changed our outlook on the world and have inspired our imagination. In the not so distant future, mobility will once again change our world.

Computers, communications networks, cameras, and other electronics have become commodities, and are now poised to bring disruptive change to the automobile and to transportation at large. The future of mobility will be connected and automated. This ongoing transformation presents new challenges and pressures for the automotive industry like never before:

The advancement of smarter and more connected vehicles and services

The emergence of new sources of value

Growing supply chain and production complexities

Increasing regulatory and societal pressures

The need for a higher degree of customer intimacy

Organizations that can transform and innovate the fastest will lead and define the rules of mobility going forward.

Accelerating automotive innovation with analytics

Disruptive ideas begin with deep insights. To outpace competitors and win in today’s digital, idea economy, automakers and suppliers are turning to analytics. With decades of automotive analytics experience, DXC Technology can help you accelerate transformation to a data-driven enterprise. We bring a core set of transformational solutions that help you harness all relevant value from data, so you will gain clarity on what questions to ask, which data to analyze and how to use insights at the speed of business. Our analytics solutions will enable you to analyze volumes of data from various sources to take product innovation, portfolio planning, quality and customer experiences to the next level.

When investigating “why” questions such as “Why did our material cost for Product X rise in the past month?” Getting to the why is the crux of any business decision, and companies today need to get there faster. Research shows that 41 percent of survey respondents are using some form of machine learning/AI technology in their analytical tool set. Ninety percent of best-in-class companies saw an "improvement” or “substantial improvement” in decision speed.

Insights and better business outcomes

No matter where you are in your analytics journey, DXC can help with your transformation. Our solutions and analytics approach help automakers and suppliers transform themselves for the future while achieving impactful business outcomes using big data and analytics.

Harness data to improve operational agility — Use analytics to promote productivity. For example, enable early detection of issues during product design and product manufacturing, identifying issues before vehicles ever leave your facilities, estimating the condition of machines and individual parts to avoid planned maintenance, and modeling and testing products in simulated environments before actual production to minimize defects and post-sale warranty costs.

Integrate insights to quickly create or adapt for growth — Use analytics to gain a competitive advantage through improved innovation. For example, your research and development (R&D) teams are at the heart of your innovation. In order to reduce concept development cycle times, reduce time to market and identify new sources of value, R&D teams need critical insights obtained from manufacturing and engineering processes, and real-world product use. These insights enable manufacturers to customize and differentiate their products for higher adoption and growth.

Mitigate or prevent adverse impacts through proactive insights — Use analytics to diminish threats. For example, product defects are often discovered weeks or perhaps months after the initial trend developed. Imagine the ability to detect previously unknown defects early in the process, using analytics to discover hidden trends in vehicle diagnostics data, social media data, service data and warranty records.

Enhance customer experiences that maximize growth and brand loyalty — Using masses of customer data, automakers can determine the models, accessories or services particular customer segments are interested in, and analytics can be used to deliver more personalized customer experiences based on customer characteristics, behaviors and preferences. This promotes the use of personalized offers and incentives that can boost sales, increase satisfaction and promote retention.
